The SWIS Difference

The students are guided towards what they are expected to know, but the students get to choose how they find the knowledge. They choose how they learn best and how they show their work. The teacher becomes a resource rather than a manager, and holds them accountable for those choices. The choice is never not to work, the choice is how the student wants to work.
